And from Scout

And from Scout: Thank you for picking me up when I go crazy and jump around and scratch your legs. I get so excited when you get home. When I hear that you're home, I start to cry because I'm so excited to see you. I like when you hold me and tell me things. I like when you give me tummy rubs. Thank you for giving me food off of your plate. And for playing with me. And for getting me a fence so I can run around the backyard and roll around in smelly things. You're kind of a sucker, but I'm glad. I love you so much.

Insightful Quote

From The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield--there's a great description of a minor character (the doctor's wife) in the book. It goes like this (page 104):

"The doctor's wife wasn't a bad woman. She was sufficiently convinced of her own importance to believe that God actually did watch everything she did and listen to everything she said, and she was too taken up with rooting out the pride she was prone to feeling in her own holiness to notice any other failings she might have had. She was a do-gooder, which means that all the ill she did, she did without realizing it."
